Maybe similar to #468 (the "never installed before" part)

But in this case is there any service or process you can stop?

Hmm. I've tried to search "winfsp" in my registry and found following in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\disko\winfsp_x64.dll

Disk-O is the paid tool (https://disk-o.cloud/en/) which allows to mount clouds as local disks. I want to do the same using winfsp + rclone. Seems that developers of Disk-O also use winfsp for this purposes. I'll remove it and try again.

Thanks.

Unfortunately Disk-O uses a custom version of WinFsp, which can cause this problem. I have contacted them in the past about rectifying this problem.

Would suggest moving to rclone

After removing the Disk-O, I've successfully install the winfsp and then mount mucket into Windows using rclone mount. It seems that guys from Mail.ru made their Disk-O same way but with paid subscription.

open source is almost always the best source
